Chapter 8: The Great Xia
Five days later.
Great Yan Palace, Jingren Palace.
The ministers were furious.
After Great Xia lost the poetry meeting, not only did he fail to return Moon Lake to Great Yan, but also openly announced to the whole world that Moon Lake had become the permanent territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Great Xia Dynasty sent heavy troops to guard the Moon Lake, and also shouted to the Great Yan Dynasty in the air, saying that if the Great Yan Dynasty had the ability, it would take the Moon Lake back on the battlefield.
"Your Majesty, my Great Yan Dynasty has just experienced a war in the northwest, and the treasury is empty. And Great Xia dispatched 300,000 troops to guard Moon Lake, and at the moment it is really unable to support such a big war. Tobe Shangshu said.
"The minister seconded the proposal, Moon Lake was already controlled by the Great Xia Kingdom as early as ten years ago, and Moon Lake is too far away from the Jingshi, even if I take Moon Lake, I have no intention of managing it. It is better to cede Moon Lake and negotiate with Great Xia on a condition to minimize the loss. The military department Shangshu followed.
The attitude of the civil officials is the same, that is, to give up Moon Lake.
But the generals were not happy.
Moon Lake is located at the junction of the two countries, and as the strength of the current Great Xia Dynasty has further increased, they are also rapidly developing westward.
In this way, the strategic significance of Moon Lake is also increasing.
If the control of the Moon Lake is completely lost, then the Great Xia Dynasty can use the Moon Lake as a springboard at any time to attack the Great Yan Dynasty.
"But as long as the territory of my Great Yan Dynasty is not an inch! The Great Xia Kingdom reversed its word, snatched the Moon Lake today, and may hit the capital tomorrow! Are you still trying to negotiate terms with them? Wish for the moon! Father, according to what Erchen sees, Moon Lake must be taken back! If we don't take any action, then won't we become soft persimmons to be manipulated by others? Princess Musou said. 、
Princess Wushuang has always wanted to recapture Moon Lake, but there has been no suitable reason to send troops before.
Now that the Great Xia Kingdom has run to their faces and jumped sideways repeatedly, can you still get used to this?
"Dare to ask the princess, what is my Great Yan Dynasty going to war with Great Xia now?" Tobe Shangshu asked towards Princess Wushuang.
"Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to the battle and swear to recapture Moon Lake!" Princess Wushuang arched her hand towards the emperor.
"The fourth princess said lightly, but you are only good at leading cavalry. And Moon Lake is a large area of water, could it be that your 20,000 cavalry can defeat the 100,000 sailors of the Great Xia Longwei Legion? The military department Shangshu said coldly.
Among the four major legions of Great Xia, the Longwei Legion ranked first.
The Longwei Legion has an army of 300,000, including 100,000 sailors, and has not tasted defeat in the water war.
Emperor Dayan is actually the main battle faction, and as the king of a country, it is quite unbearable for him to be humiliated. If the Moon Lake is lost in his hands, what face will he have to see his ancestors and ancestors in the future?
"Liu Shangshu is growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige? How do you know you can't beat it yet? Princess Wushuang said coldly.
"20,000 cavalry against 300,000 Longwei troops? Fourth princess, how many battles have you won, do you really think you are a divine soldier from the sky? ”
"Liu Shangshu's words are reasonable, it is difficult for me to win against the sailors of the Great Xia Kingdom."
……
At this time, a tall old man stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the fourth princess is reasonable, and not an inch of the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty can be lost." The minister agreed to send troops to recapture Moon Lake. ”
It was General Tiance who spoke.
Nearly half of the army of the Great Yan Dynasty was in the hands of Xing Daorong. He is so powerful that he can be said to be under one person.
"General, you know best what is going on with me now, it's really not suitable to go to war now!"
"Yes, General, you must be cautious!"
Xing Daorong's gaze swept over the group of scholars, and said loudly: "Isn't it up to you nerds to recapture Moon Lake?" If you are really useful, you won't be able to fight even a Shu Shiliang, and you have to rely on a little eunuch to support the scene for you. ”
A group of civil servants were stunned by Xing Daorong's words.
"That's not what I said, General. The literary style of Daxia is at its peak, and Shu Shiliang is a literary genius who has not been born for a hundred years, I can't fight him, it doesn't mean that we are useless when we study! ”
"Why did a little eunuch make Shu Shiliang vomit blood? Oh, you guys are not as good as a little eunuch. ”
"Walk the way! Don't deceive people too much! ”
Xing Daorong quarreled with the ministers.
The emperor felt that his head was about to get bigger, his brows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "Silence! ”
"Xing Aiqing, what is your plan?" The Emperor asked.
"Even though the sailor of the Long Wei Army is powerful, it is not that my Dayan cannot take out the sailor. There is a young general under the command of the minister, and he is currently secretly training a sailor, and it has been two and a half years since then. The minister thought that sending this sailor to follow the princess on the expedition would definitely be able to recapture Moon Lake. Xing Daorong said.
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Or is Xing Aiqing thoughtful, how many people are there in this water division?" The Emperor asked.
"No more, no less, exactly 100,000!"
"Good!"
There is a 100,000-strong sailor division, and it is definitely possible for the Longwei Legion to run into it head-on.
Xing Daorong supported the expedition, so the pressure from Wenchen was much smaller.
"Jing Han listens to orders."
"Erchen is here!"
"I order you to lead 100,000 sailors and the Peerless Army, and you can go out to conquer Great Xia, and you are bound to recapture Moon Lake!"
"Erchen takes orders!"
The number of people on Princess Wushuang's side added up to a total of only 120,000, which was far from the 300,000 of the Longwei Legion.
However, the emperor was not afraid at all, and Princess Wushuang was not afraid at all.
The Great Yan Dynasty is full of martial virtues, no matter how many people there are, there has never been a battle that they dare not fight.
When the ministers saw that the emperor had already issued an order, it was difficult for them to say anything more.
The battles that Princess Wushuang fought in the past were basically encounter battles or rush battles, and every time there were fewer people and more people.
This time she was going to the frontal battlefield and command a large army of more than 100,000 people to fight 300,000 Longwei troops, which was the first time.
Still, it's something she's been looking forward to for a long time.
In the past, it was a small fight, but finally a big wave can be made.
